Reply To: Effectiveness of the Covid Vaccine

i got vaccinated because my rabonim told me to

Your rabbonim b”H hold you are supposed to follow mainstream medicine, not conspiracy theorists.

I just wanted to say that I got covid after two phizer shots

So did I, Moderna (which if anything is supposed to work better against Delta)

and I was pretty sick and so was my wife so I dont know where the info that people who were vaccinated dont feel covid is from, but it should be checked

Here’s the thing – they get the information from following many thousands of people, not just a few. So they have a lot better information than just you or I do based on what our personal experience will show us.

Your rabbonim have basically said to trust what the vast majority of medical researchers and doctors have said, which is that vaccinating generally reduces the number of serious illnesses and deaths, even if there are many “breakthrough” positive cases.

It’s impossible to know for sure in any individual case, but it’s very likely that had you or I not gotten vaccinated, we wouldn’t be here to be having this conversation.
